First off the funny.
Boy (at hotel register): King or two queens?
Dean: Two queens
Boy (gives look to Sam and Dean): I bet.
Heeee.
In less cheerful but entrancing news, we continue our "Dean is falling apart" theme.
This episode cofirms three things for me:
1. John=horrible father. Granted, not Aaron Echolls level actively evil to his kids, but still child services worthy. What kind of a parent leaves a 9 year old for three (!!!) days in charge of his 5 year old brother? With a loaded shotgun? Telling him to shoot anything that moves? It's amazing the kids' brains didn't end up on the wall. At 9, Dean shouldn't have to be a caretaker, period.
2. Dean is so Sam's mother. Seriously. He really takes care of Sam when they are kids, as their father appears to be distant and MIA. That whole bit where he gives Sam the last bowl of the cereal he wanted for himself? Welcome to Dean world. Not so bizarre and actually kinda nice when a mother does it sometimes for her kid, when it's one kid doing it for his baby brother and keeps on carrying that sort of mentality throughout adulthood (I don't count, submerge self desires into greater good)? Extremely unhealthy. And only fed by the whole "Dad is holding Sam and yelling at Dean." Ugh. Child services. That pastor person who John dropped them at? Shouldn't he have done it three days earlier. Ugh. Much as crying Dean is always a sexy thing, messing up your kids is not a good thing. The whole Dean telling Sam that John just looked at him differently after? Ugh again. This is a freaking kid. Good Lord. But now at least we know why Dean is always so into obeying orders.
3. Dean to issues as I to chocolate. Meaning loving it, always getting more of it, and thinking about it to an unreasonable degree. Boy needs therapy. Not everything is your fault. stop blaming yourself for everything (and he really does like kids, doesn't he?) Go watch "Good Will Hunting" and repeat "It's not my fault" until it sinks in, k?
I have to say, when Dean goes angry cold, as when he finds out who the Striga is, he is scary. And really hot.
